Spec:
British racing green, with white stripes and white roof.
Full length electric Webasto sunroof.
Full black leather interior with cream piping.
Factory Sports pack (includes the bigger wheels, wide arches, auxiliary gauges)
John Cooper Garages S Works conversion (with supporting paperwork, plaque, laurels and red Cooper wing badges) 92 BHP. Also has the extremely rare "S Works" mpi airbox

History:
Loads of service history, originally fully stamped service book and an A4 lever arch ring binder full of receipts.
The car has done 125,900 miles but doesn’t drive like it, Cambridge Miniworks assured me the engine has been recently rebuilt and while it certainly goes like it there isn’t any paperwork to support this. It runs and shifts fantastically. It does leak a little oil as do all Minis. MOT’d until May 2017

I bought the car in late 2015 and have been tidying it up as a rolling project. It’s had quite a chunk of cash spent on it including. Anything too hard for me to do has been taken care of by well known, respected Mini specialist Clark McDonald. But in the time I’ve had it, I’ve had the following done:

Shiny new chrome work for the grill and surrounds.
New factory self-levelling headlights.
New heater matrix.
New water pump.
New front window rails.
New fuel pipe
New factory engine labels.
New John Cooper gearknob
New John Cooper floormats
New door and boot locks
Also included is an extremely rare factory CD player (now fitted and code found!), new steering wheel, new fuel cap and a load of other spares)

Bodywork scrubs up well and looks great from a short distance but it has the usual Mini spots of rust, worst being the passenger side A-panel which will need replaced (part included!) It was good enough to be used in a photoshoot for French clothing brand “Cyrillus” however the car is not mint but would make a great rolling restoration.

Nice looking car, shame on the mileage. Out of interest what does the plaque on the drivers side cross member say?

Thanks, though I'd argue if it were a delivery miles example that would be more of a shame!

 

I'll take a picture of that if I get home in time for to catch the light.

 

edit: It says "Conversion no CS 224"

So to put the record straight on the S Works conversions, yes they are from 1999 onwards, this car although a 1997 MPi would have been converted a few years later than that, hence it has a Conversion no. CS plaque as opposed to a Car No. S-WKS- plaque.   I suspect this was converted to an S works in 2004 or 2005.   Shame I have no room for it on my drive, mileage doesn't put me off - rather have an honest car you can use than a low miler that never comes out to play!
